Demographic Challenges in the Mediterranean: Ageing, Fertility Trends, and Migration Dynamics
Prof.ssa Elena AMBROSETTI - Full professor of Demography - University of Roma La Sapienza

The seminar will provide a comparative overview of the demographic evolution of the Mediterranean populations. I will address the main demographic issues since 1950 such as fertility, mortality, growth, demographic aging, and the age structure of the population. I will discuss the major demographic changes and its consequences for the Mediterranean region and describe the socio-economic and societal opportunities such as the silver economy, improvement in health of the population, and progress in education.

Family Ties and Older People's Well-Being: evidence and Methodological Challenges
Prof. Bruno ARPINO - Full Professor of Social Statistics - University of Padova

Demographic transformations such as population aging, declining fertility, increasing migration, and shifts in marriage and partnership patterns are reshaping family structures and intergenerational relationships. As a result, older adults are experiencing new family dynamics, including rising kinlessness and evolving roles within multigenerational networks. Understanding how these changes impact the well-being of older people is crucial for both researchers and policymakers.
This seminar will explore the complex relationship between family ties and older adults’ well-being, drawing on empirical studies of changing family structures and relationships. Particular attention will be given to the role of grandparental childcare—an increasingly significant aspect of intergenerational support. I will discuss the potential benefits and challenges of this caregiving role, including its implications for grandparents' health and well-being.
A key methodological challenge in this area of research is establishing causal relationships between grandparental childcare and older people’s well-being. In the final part of the seminar, I will review the most commonly used statistical methods for causal inference and present the results of a small simulation study comparing their performance. The seminar will conclude with a discussion on future research directions, including the potential of machine learning techniques for advancing this field and the bidirectional link between family relationships and older adults’ engagement with digital technologies.
